[mythtv-users] FW: New Source Forge Project MythStreamTV

[Ashley Bostock]

I had this problem, from the command line run:

which vlc

This will give the location of where vlc is installed on your machine,
then open up mythstream.sh and on the line near the bottom where it
says vlc -I dummy, etc... add in the full path to vlc, so on mine it
reads:

/usr/local/bin/vlc -I dummy, etc.....

That should fix it.
